Gary lost a ton of salesin his questto improve the sharpness of the Blades on the Slick Tricks. Did they kill game before late 06? Sure and I'm willing to bet most Bowhunters who used them did not touch them up in anyway. The Blades are now made in Solingen Germany which is well known for their ability to produce sharp steel
I'm sure Gary went through some hard times during this change over, if nothing else just the stress of not having product when you need it would be tough. I'm sure most guys appreciate his effort and nowuse one of the sharpest broadheads currently on the market because ofthe commitment and sacrifices he made to produce the best quality broadhead he could. Those facts and the fact that his customer service is second to none is the reason I use Slick Tricks myself. Have Gary and I ever been into it with each other? Sure!! but we are still friends and he still makes the best flying, toughest replaceable blade broadheads on the market and they are now also one of the sharpest
You can argue all you want. It really is a no brainer, sharper is better, and to use anything less than the sharpest blades possible is unethical. Whoops!! Isaid that forbidden word
